I'm curious how many of you were tricked by my Planes, Trains, and Automobiles entry...



This was not actually a Baja Truck... but an R.C. truck that I shot while out at the track the other day... The newer R.C. short course trucks are modeled to scale, and don't have antenna's, because they run on 2.4 ghz... I thought for sure I'd get a few comments from the people recognizing it as an R.C. but didn't :)

I made this challenge suggestion awhile back, Is that Real? Or a model?
So I wanted to give it a shot...

So, did I trick ya'll???

You got me... But at first I thought it was an RC if that make a difference. :P I changed my mind for the worse I guess... Oh well Good shot though

I didn't see or vote in the challenge but you wouldn't have fooled me into thinking it was a baja car...simply because I worked on baja cars as a senior project in college so I know they don't look like that. BUT I would not have guessed an RC either.

I thought it was a real car.

I could tell something was a little bit off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Nice job with scale :)

I knew it was a model, based on the scale of the dirt, actually. The car looked amazingly real. Very well done :-)

Great shot, but I have played with my share of RC's so I figured it out pretty quick... I'm sure if I wasn't an RC fan I would have been fooled ;)

I went back n forth with this image.....I did think both at different times, but in the end I thought it was real. What a tricky image... I was fooled! Good job. he he he

Actually, I have that advantage too, forgot to mention it earlier; my son and I built these things for years. Amazing little devices...

I thought it was a RC but I wasn't quite sure.

Been there, done that, Baja 40th Anniversary race 2007. It's big fun, but intense.
I opened it to see if it was someone that I knew.
